Author(s): Dr. Darshan J Modi, Dr. Sanjay Karangiya, Dr. Sharad M Patel and Dr. Jallari Vyas
Abstract: Since Mouret first performed it in 1987, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard operative procedure for cholelithiasis. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital disorder in which the visceral organs are mirrored from their normal anatomical position. Diagnosis and management of cholelithiasis in patient with SIT poses a challenge due to the underlying anatomical variation.Several cases have been reported in patients with situs inversus totalis.Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in these patients is technically more demanding and needs reorientation of visual-motor skills to the left upper quadrant.
